Braised Chicken Nuggets with Lotus Root

Braised Chicken Nuggets with Lotus Root

Overview

I originally bought half a chicken with the intention of making a hot pot, but then I had a party and went out to eat. I didn't have time to cook it, so I had to freeze it in the refrigerator. The frozen chicken will not be as delicious when made into a hot pot. I simmered it instead. It is also great to eat it warm in a casserole.
